Liberty High School. Please give them a round of applause. Before we go any further, I need to have senior Ryan Idol up to the stage to sing us the national anthem. Would everybody please rise?
Fine. We're good. Yeah. Oh, say can you see by the dawn early light, what so proudly we
held at the twilight's last gleaming. who's brought stripes and bright stars through the perilous
fight. Or the ramp parts we watched were so gallently gleaming. And the rockets red glare. The bombs

spangled banner yet [Music] wave or the land of the free and the home of the
[Music] brave. Thank you so much, Ryan. I really appreciate it. At this time, I'd like to welcome to the stage our superintendent of schools, Mrs. Nicole Pormilly. Thank
you. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. And Ryan, as always, wonderful job. That was incredible. So happy to have this audience filled with students and families. Good evening. It is truly an honor to stand before you today and recognize some of the most accomplished
students in our district. This year's scholarship winners. First and foremost to our scholarship winners, congratulations. Today is a c. Yes, let's do [Music] that. Today is a celebration of your hard work, your commitment, and your
perseverance. Earning a scholarship is not simply about academic success. Though that is certainly a huge part of it, it is also about character, leadership, and the ability to set goals and pursue them with passion and determination. Each of you has shown
that you not only have talent, but the discipline to nurture it. Behind every scholarship award is a story of late nights of studying, of mentors and teachers who believe in you, of families who supported and encouraged you. I want
to thank the parents, teachers, and staff and community members who played a part in helping these students reach their milestones. Your guidance and support make all the difference. I also want to say thank you to the scholarship committee, scholarship fund president, Mr. Walsh, director of student
counseling, Mr. Palumbo, and all of the guidance staff and departments for their collaboration and work to offer these incredible scholarships to our amazing students. Let's give them a round of applause. And to our scholarship sponsors and donors, thank you. Your investment in
our students is a powerful vote of confidence in their potential. Because of your generosity, these young people are better equipped to take the next step forward towards their dreams. And to our students, I'll leave you with this. A scholarship is more than
financial support. It is a belief in your future. Use it not only to further your education, but to continue becoming the kind of person who gives back, who leads with integrity, and who lifts others as you climb. We are so proud of
each and every one of you, and we can't wait to see the incredible things that you will accomplish. Congratulations again to all the scholarship winners. Enjoy this evening. Thank you, Mrs. Port Millie. Uh, I'm going to keep it short, my opening
remarks, because this is the week and month of speeches. You guys are going to get a lot of speeches in the next two weeks. You're going to hear a lot of words. You're going to hear a lot of stories. People are going to talk about journeys. Uh, tonight's different.
Tonight is not just about the students and your hard work, but it's about intertwining the community together, the past and the present. So, your hard work allowed you to get here tonight based on the generosity and the memorial of uh
community members and and our sponsors. I just want to give our sponsors another round of applause. Their generosity from their community organizations, their passions, and sometimes a loved one that was lost allowed us to be here tonight together. So, I'm going to leave you with just one
word. It's actually not even really a word. So, I'm starting to read this book. It's called The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. And the the author actually creates words to articulate feelings that everybody has, but there's no word
for. So, I'm going to leave you with one word, and it's called anamoya. Write this down. Anamoa is that feeling, that wistful feeling of gratitude for someone that you have never met. That their uh their presence
on this earth has left a mark on your life and you've never even met them. That's what tonight is all about. You may not have met these folks uh whose scholarships uh these are in memorial of, but they are leaving a mark on you. They're investing in you tonight. So,
I'm hope that if I can leave with you uh one word that you'll remember through all the speeches that you're going to hear over the next two weeks, Anamoya. And with that, uh I want to also just thank the Jackson Township Scholarship Fund for organizing this entire event
and uh for the last 55 years supporting the students of Jackson. Just give them a round of applause. And finally, uh, to my administrative assistant, Monica Garafano, who spent months and months and months putting this program together, reaching out to all the donors, uh, the students and the
families. Uh, just one more round of applause for Mrs. Garafano. And with that, I will turn it over to Mr. Walsh, and we will get this festivity started. Yes, Mrs. Garanet does all the work.
First editorial, please turn off your telephones. Turn off those buzzers. Okay. Number two, there is four phases to this process. The first phase is getting the sponsors, putting the scholarships together. The second phase is you, the students, putting in your
applications to fit those scholarships. The third phase is tonight you're getting it. But this is my editorial for the fourth phase. When you get an invoice from school, will you please cash it in? You wouldn't believe how
many students in the past have not come and collected their scholarships. So, please do that. Don't forget about it tonight because we're going to give you an envelope with the scholarship, but there's no money in that envelope. You got to come and get the
money. Thank you. All right. We're going to start this off with the alumni paying it forward scholarship. The alumni paying it forward scholarship award goes to Eric Buckley. and to Bella Sweeney.

everyone. This scholarship is dedicated to my father who passed away suddenly in August 2020. My father immigrated to the US in 1986 with his three children and wife and decided Jackson was going to be his home. He was a man of dreams, a man
of goals. He loved science and math and wanted to be a doctor himself. Unfortunately, in Pakistan where he was raised, getting into medical college was dependent on how much money you had and who you knew, not how smart you are. He wanted better for his children, like all parents do, which is what made him take
the journey across the world to settle down his family right here in Jackson, New Jersey. He was a strong believer that the way to achieve the American dream, which is why people, which is the reason why people all over the world desire to come to America, is education. He instilled that in his children and
pushed us to never stop dreaming. He was most proud of his children who became a physician and a dentist. He was even more prouder that he could say with confidence that he had achieved the American dream. And I know he would want me to help the graduates of 2025 do the same. So, I'm happy to present two
$1,000 scholarships to some amazing students who have achieved the American dream. And the awards go to Tateo Bottomosi. [Applause]

their start. a first job, a mentorship, a tech lesson, sound advice, a recommendation that opened a door. We created this scholarship to carry on his legacy of identifying and nurturing the next generation of talent. The two students we chose for this scholarship
have demonstrated their commitment to a future in film and television. They have unlimited potential. We believe in you. We support you and we can't wait to see the amazing things you do. Keep us posted. The 2025 recipients of the Pat Corbett Memorial Scholarship Award for

Health Awareness Scholarship. Okay. This scholarship is presented to honor my father, Rob Camitz, a two-time survivor of sudden cardiac arrest. His journey is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the
critical role of both medical and mental health professionals. Senic cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that affects over 350,000 people each year in the United States outside of hospital. However, immediate CPR can double the chances of
survival. In my father's case, my brother doing CPR was the difference between life and death. My father's journey has shown us firsthand how preservation, hard work, and a strong support system can help you overcome even the most difficult
moments. This scholarship not only honors my dad's experience, but also aims to support the next generation of heroes, those entering the fields of medicine and mental health. We are proud to award the two scholarships, one to a student pursuing a career in mental health and another to to a student
entering in the medical field. So the first recipient for the medical field is going to be Brix Morell. And then the next recipient is going to be for the mental health field and that's going to be Mia Nolan.

Um, I just want to say that we are super proud that um, although obviously Rosenour School is no longer with us as a PTA, there was not a question in our mind that we were not going to save money for the next seven years, which gets us to the last graduating class of
Rosenour to give these scholarships. So, with that, I'm proud to say that the first recipient of this award is Julia Kuth. and Paige Weir Suzki. [Applause]

in childhood and helps families who lost children unexpectedly. Tonight we are here to celebrate all of you the scholarship winners. We asked students to write an essay on how they demonstrate resilience in the face of hardship and how they
were able to turn their hardship into something positive. This year's students have dealt with death, cancer, and mental health struggles to name a few. Our scholarship winner turned a lifetime a lifelong disease into a way
to find other hobbies and passions. Congratulations to all the scholarship winners tonight, but especially the McKenzie Blair Foundation winner, Shane Wearstone. [Applause]

Award. I need to get taller. I'm proud to say my father was instrumental in the implementation of many of the early organizations in the township, particularly with regard to youth sports, but also serving on the board of education and service to
others. So much so that he was voted man of the year for Jackson Township back in the 70s. He believed in the importance of being involved in the community, whether it be coaching, improving the education system, fundraising, mentoring youth, or even just helping a neighbor
in need. This award pays tribute not only to my father, but to a student who gave up of their time from family, friends, activities, and studies to give back to the community. This award recipient has tallied literally hundreds of community service hours with the
following organizations. It's an amazing list. The Boy Scouts Church Youth Group, Interact Club, Key Club, Church Food Pantry, Community Cleanup, Clean Ocean Action, Beach Sweep, and Grass Plannings. Cancer Walk, March of Dimes,
Makea-Wish Foundation, Crop Walk for Hunger, Scouting for Food, Flag and Wreath Ceremonies, The Knights of Columbus, The VFW, The Fishing Derby, Ronald McDonald House, Project Little Soldier, Salvation Army, Adopt a Family,
Toys for Tots, Socks for Seniors, Presents for Pets, Color a Smile, Back to School Food and Clothing drives, and in his spare time, he is working on becoming an Eagle Scout. out in which his service projects will benefit patients with liver disease at
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Though only a teenager, I would be hardpressed to find a person of any age involved in so many community service endeavors. I'm sure my mom, who is with me here tonight, would concur that my father would be truly honored to award
this year's community service award to this young man. On behalf of my family, I'm especially proud to present this award in his name because it's an award won not by what a student accomplished for themselves, but what they accomplished for others. Please join me
in a thunderous round of applause for this young man who has done so much for many communities. Shane Lar Roto [Music] the Westlake Veterans Club
